Asian Pepper Steaks

These Asian Pepper Steaks have tender strips of lean beef, with peppers, onions and diced tomatoes, in a savory sauce that has a touch of heat and sweetness! And, this meal can be on your table in about 20 minutes. We have been wanting to share with you some delicious Asian Pepper Steaks for awhile, and these turned out really great!

We absolutely LOVE Asian food. And, while we were making this dish it made our kitchen smell and taste like we were at our favorite Chinese restaurant!

Slice the peppers and onions, and mince the garlic. We used yellow, orange and red peppers, but you could use green peppers, if you’d like.

Cut the steak into 1/4 inch strips and place in a bowl. Put the corn starch and pepper in a small bowl and whisk together. Sprinkle the corn starch over the beef and mix until evenly coated.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, cook for 3-4 minutes, or until lightly burned browned, turning beef once. Remove the beef from the skillet.

Add the sliced peppers, onions and minced garlic, cook and stir approximately 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are a little tender.

Return the beef to the skillet and cook an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In a small bowl, add the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and red pepper flakes, and stir until the brown sugar is dissolved.

Add the soy sauce mixture to the beef and vegetables, then stir in the 1/2 (14.5 oz) can of diced tomatoes.

Cook and stir approximately 3 minutes, or until the sauce is the desired thickness, and the beef and vegetables are tender. Top with chopped green onions.

Serve over cooked rice for a tasty Asian dish you’ll want to make again and again. One of the things we really enjoyed about this recipe is the sticky sauce, with its touch of heat and sweet!
